Joking aside though, I for one do not like the idea of being so closely
monitored or being charged for something we already pay tax via fuel etc.


Nor do I. The overall cost of driving is likely to increase very
substantially for many people, and I do not believe the stories about it
being offset by reductions in other charges associated with driving -
such as road tax and fuel tax/duties.

In any case, if that were not enough, the amount of surveillance
involved would be quite unacceptable. Going on from that, I presume you
have by now heard about the plans to put cameras on lamp posts - X-ray
cameras moreover - just to keep an even closer eye on us!

Best wishes all,
Dave.

Doesn't our car tax pay for this ? ... kind og like paying for something
twice ?

We already pay for the roads about 5 times over, plus all the subsidy
to rail.

So do you really think that theVED, fuel tax and small amounts of VAT on
motoring items that you pay as an individual really does all you say it
does?

I've no idea, but from what I heard it was so that they could make sure
we're not all wandering about with little bombs in our pockets.

No doubt the guys in the monitoring stations will have a bit of fun
checking out the curvy cuties walking past!

Thinks Now where do I apply for such a job?

Best wishes all,
Dave.

You should be more worried about the Government's imaginary proposal to fit
all citizens with CO2 meters so we can be taxed on how much greenhouse gases
we exhale.

If you feel strongly about this please go down the pub and explain it to all
your friends.
